Pie-A-Month for Emelyse

Donation protected
I only know 3-year old Emelyse and her parents, Valkyrie and Mitch, through the diner, but they embody the exact reason I wanted to open Ladybird at all. I wanted a place where people could bring their families, to be surrounded by bright colors and playful decor, with a great soundtrack and scratch home-cooking that warmed their tummies and souls.

Emelyse is sick. Her parents need help. They’ve been at Children’s Mercy in Kansas City for over 2 weeks, the most recent of many hospital stays in Emelyse’s short lifetime. Emelyse is not getting better. Valkyrie and Mitch have been transitioned to a Hospice Care Team, but they’re not ready to give up. They want to move Emelyse to a state where cannabis oil is available in a last ditch effort to improve her condition. 

If they won’t stop fighting, neither will we.

Please consider a donation to help relocate Emelyse and her parents. We're going to help them take one last shot at saving their baby. Contribute on line via gofundme or stop in the shop to make a donation at 721 Massachusetts Street, Lawrence. 

Every donor to this fundraiser will be entered in a Ladybird Pie-A-Month draw, regardless of the amount of your contribution! That’s one wonderfully fresh-baked pie every month for a YEAR! (Valued over $300. Y’all know this pie is the best!) 

Yes, we’ll ship! You can enter even if you don’t live in Lawrence. No one is ineligible. No amount is too small.
